How to take ownership instead of root?

[Draftmancorp]

Hi guise!
If you don't remember me i've a 5Big Network 2 with fvdw-sl firmware version 17-0 plug in home network and managed only with Windows PC, and all gone perfectly thanks to your help in the past.
Today I trying to delete some my old files inside of my disks, but sems that "root" user and "root" group is the real Owner of all my 5 disk... really? why?
I try to take ownership with windows security property function. But sems that i can't change the root user...
How can i take ownership of the files?
How can i manage the file if there is no way to change/remove the root ownership? :thinking

Thanks.

Hi

On many files, owner and group are root and do not have be changed !

on fs system, I think it is clear :scratch

and on the data volumes, I repeat again a NAS is not a laptop and permissions should not be managed on linux permissions level (in fact linux permissions are set only to set permissions on the servers running on the NAS)

On a nas, access on a file is monitored by the running servers : ftp by proftpd; samba by smbd, ... It is the user settings on these servers conf which allow or deny access, that's all...

Anyhow, you can get a root access by using a ssh access as in this case you are a root user and then you have all permissions! So I assume you know what you will do
